Unofficial Slimming World Slow Cooker Recipes and Tips
Before you start to think about recipes with your slow cooker here are a few tips for using your slow cooker which may help.
If you find your meal is a bit watery take the lid off the slow cooker and turn it up high for half an hour this can help evaporate some of the water.
Using slow cooker liners can save washing up if you are making something that often sticks. Did you know you can also buy silicone liners?
Remember that nothing evaporates so you may need less liquid than in other recipes eg on the hob.
